Revenue Agent Vacancy Announcements Open April 6

We are pleased to announce that the April 6 Career Opportunities List (COL) will include hundreds of revenue agent vacancies in more than 100 locations in four categories:

• GS-5/7/9/11 (SB/SE and TEGE)
• GS-12 (SB/SE, TEGE and Appeals)
• GS-12/13 (SB/SE and LMSB)
• GS-13 (SB/SE, TEGE, LMSB and Appeals)

We encourage all qualified employees to consider these exciting revenue agent career opportunities – and the many other positions to follow on future COLs.To streamline the process, persons who want to apply for more than one business unit or location will only need to submit one application per category. You will be able to indicate the locations and business units that you would like to be considered for when you submit the single application.Applications for the GS-5/7/9/11 entry-level positions will be submitted on Forms 4536 and 9686 using the standard process. In general, the entry-level requirement for revenue agents is 30 semester hours of accounting coursework.In a change to past procedure, applications for the GS-12 and GS-13 positions will be submitted through USAJOBS. This will enable us to process and fill the jobs in the most expeditious manner. Though the announcements are not yet open, interested applicants can get familiar with USAJOBS and start the process now by:

• visiting USAJOBS,
• creating a My USAJOBS account, and
• building a resume.

All of the April 6 revenue agent announcements are being posted simultaneously internally and externally. This will help us fill the vacancies in the most prompt manner. But, consistent with our desire to provide career advancement within the IRS, internal candidates will continue to be provided first consideration.Finally, some of you may have recently applied for other revenue agent vacancies on the COL. If so, you will still be considered for those positions. However, in order to be considered for the future positions, you should also submit an application for the April 6 announcement(s).To learn more about these job openings and how to apply, visit the Enforcement Hiring Center Webpage where you’ll find announcement numbers, qualification information, search tips and step-by-stepUSAJOBS instructions (for those of you applying for GS-12 or 13 positions).This scale of advancement opportunities for our current workforce is unprecedented and exciting. Equally energizing is the prospect of many new employees joining us in the months ahead. We want to thank you for the work you do each day to administer our nation’s tax laws, and wish each of you applying for new positions the best of luck in your career aspirations.–Linda Stiff, Deputy Commissioner Services & Enforcement–Mark Ernst, Deputy Commissioner Operations Support
